Duranguense is a subgenre of regional Mexican music. It is a hybrid of Technobanda and Tamborazo. The instruments used from Tamborazo are the saxophone, trombone, and tambora, while the instruments used from Technobanda are the electronic keyboard (specifically the Korg X3, Korg N364, which are used for the main melody and the Yamaha DX7, which is used by many bands for the bass section), drum set, and vocals. The electronic keyboard is emphasized in Duranguense, giving the genre its own signature riff. In the mid to late 2000s, Duranguense was one of the most prevalent regional Mexican genres. Duranguense was further evolved with its own "Chicago sound" as Mexican American artists from the area incorporated different rhythms and styles into the genre. [1]
